Chapter 952


    In the Laurence family, aside from Sigrid and her folks, Bernard, Veronica and Cedric Laurence were all


    present


    Bernard was originally nning to bring Eleanor along, but Eleanor said hertest project had to do


    with the Sharp family.


    She was worried that as his wife, if she showed up now, it would be obviouster when she was


    dealing with the Sharp family as Emilia, so she didn’te


    After meeting Kathanne, Peterson went home and met two other people, but they weren’t the right fit,


    so grandpa set him up with the Laurence family


    His grandpa was a big fan of the Laurence family’s way of doing things, while Peterson was more


    impressed with Bernard’s business chops


    Bernard was different from the others. He didn’t rely on marriage alliances or the worldly stuff, but


    rather on projects andpetence.


    His little brother, Taylor Laurence, snagged quite a few projects from the Sharp family when they


    moved into North Fund


    Although it was Taylor who did all these, the man calling the shots behind the scenes was Bernard


    Peterson wanted to see Bernard’s mettle, so he agreed toe.


    Now that he was seeing Bernard in person, he felt like the guy had a powerful aura Everything about


    him screamed “blue blood“.


    He was pretty sure that his big brother would really like Bernard, because they were both big shots in


    the business world.


    After sizing up Bernard, Peterson turned his gaze to the others present, finally resting on Sigrid.


    She seemed as reserved as Katharine, as if her mind was elsewhere. It seemed she also had a story


    to tell.


    So, was he going to have to y a part in this drama too?


    As Peterson was thinking, Sigrid’s parents called her over to get him a ss of water.


    Dressed in an appropriate outfit, Sigrid rose to her feet, took a small water jug and filled his ss.


    “Enjoy it”


    Sigrid’s voice was quite pleasant Peterson gave her a look.


    Seeing Peterson looking at their daughter, Sigrid’s parents exchanged nces.


    “So, Peterson, what have you been up totely?”


    The Laurence family were heavyweights in A Country, while the Sharp family were big yers in North


    Fund. Their strength and wealth were pretty much on par, so Sigrid was a good match for Peterson


    Putting family background aside, Sigrid’s folks cared more about the other party’s capabilities


    “Ive been working on some money–making projects”


    As Peterson said this, a meaningful smile yed on his lips.


    Sigrid’s parents wanted to ask him what exactly he was doing, but he had summed it up in one


    sentence.


    They wanted to ask for more details, but Bernard, sitting in the main seat, suddenly asked, “Do you


    fancy her?”


    Peterson raised an eyebrow seeming a little surprised by Bernard’s directness. “We’re not that familiar


    with each other yet, need to get to know each other first.”


    Bernard turned his head to look at Sigrid, who had been keeping her head down. “Are you okay with


    that?”


    Sigrid reluctantly nodded her head “Let’s give it a shot”


    Peterson could easily tell that Sigrid didn’t have any particr feelings for him.


    Sigrid breathed a sigh of relief, while Bernard made a decision. “Alright, you guys get to know each


    other first, then consider an aliance if it works out.”


    This statement was directed at Peterson, who nodded politely in agreement. “No problem”


    Bernard nced at his wristwatch. It’s gettingte. You guys chat. I’ll leave first”


    Peterson had thought that Bernard might use this opportunity to discuss the North Fund market with


    him, but instead he found Bernard already standing up to leave.


    Since he didn’t want to take this opportunity to get closer to me, Peterson could only smile politely. “Mr.


    Laurence, take care.”

    Bernard draped his suit jacket over his arm, also nodding politely to him before leaving.


    Watching his retreating figure, Peterson thought that marrying into a family like this wouldn’t be so bad.


    It suited his style.


    The two young people seemed to have a good impression of each other, so Sigrid’s parents wouldn’t


    interfere too much. “Peterson, please take good care of our daughter”


    Peterson nodded politely again. The two families exchanged a few more words, then Sigrid’s parents


    got up to leave, giving the young people some space.


    Once the elders had left, Peterson turned his gaze to Cedric. “Do you have a problem with me?”


    Throughout the meeting. Sigrid’s family, including Sigrid herself, had all seemed satisfied with him.


    Only Sigrid’s own brother had been ring at him the whole time.


    Veronica gave Cedric a light kick
